BAL cell gene expression is predictive of Mortality in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and enriched for Genes of Airway Basal Cells (III)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background: We got interested whether genes of airway basal cells are enriched in sarcoidosis. Methods: Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed in 26 patients with sarcoidosis, chest-x-ray type III and IV, and 20 healthy donors and isolated BAL cells.Transcriptome of BAL cells were studied by using Affymetrix Human Affymetrix Whole-Transcript Human Gene 1.0 ST array on an Affymetrix platform. Microarray data were imported, log2-transformed and quantile normalized using robust multi-array average (RMA). We tested enrichment for airway basal cells by global enrichment analysis. Results: we did not find enrichment of airway basal cell genes in sarcoidosis compared to healthy volunteers.
